OXON HILL, Md. (AP) - Returning to the national stage, Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Saturday that the Republican Party must broaden its message to grow.

"We must leave no American behind," she said in a populist speech that electrified supporters at a conservative summit in suburban Washington. "And we must share our powerful message of freedom and liberty to all citizens - even those who may disagree on some issues."

Palin has maintained a low profile during last year's election. She's expected to play a limited role in the future of the GOP but shared several recommendations Saturday....

"We must leave no American behind," she said in a populist speech that electrified supporters at a conservative summit in suburban Washington. "And we must share our powerful message of freedom and liberty to all citizens - even those who may disagree on some issues."

It is a good message, and may have also been a dig at Romney's dismissal of half of American's as beneath his presidential concerns.

Nice try, but it was a weird and creepy thing to say that made no sense and showed not only how out of touch he is, but how indifferent he is to at least half of American citizens, that is why he apologized for it and no one can define what the 47% is.

Detirot and Michigan in General is a Prime Example of Progressive Locust, they come to the greatest Manufacturing Center in the World, Eat it, and promptly leave and foot the bill to the Citizens who are still there and go and Corrupt another state.

However the Citizens who are left in that state now thumb their noses at Liberal Polices, thus turning a once blue state red.

We have similar occurrences on why my Friends from Lithuania HATE Communism and Communists, they have lived it, they don't want it anymore.

That is why we shouldn't give up on Detroit, that is why we need to stop playing this stupid Game that the Republicans and Democrats have been making us play like an Organ Grinders Monkey.

No More!

(Build the America you want to live in at your address, and keep looking up.-Sarah Palin)

It was clear that he was dismissing half of the American people, but the problem was in defining his 47%, he never could, you can’t either.

Aside from politics, many conservatives and Americans of all stripes blanched at yet another glimpse into Romney’s exotic isolation from Americanism “[M]y job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”.

Well the future of the GOP is based on the people who support and vote for it- not the people who run the show. If the people who support and vote for the GOP care about what Sarah Palin has to say, well that means she has an influence on the future of the GOP.

It was clear that he was dismissing half of the American people, but the problem was in defining his 47%, he never could, you cant either.

Romney was an absolute GOPe scum, but this was a bad rap and you know it.

It is not disdain to recognize that there is probably nothing you can do to make the 47% of the population that is on the public dole and never voted for a republican in their life, pull the lever for a republican.

(It is not so much that history repeats, but that human nature does not change.)

Have there been conservatives who wanted to deny freedom and liberty to those who didnt agree with us? I dont get why that would need to be said.

That was the part of her speech when she criticized politicians for pandering to various special interest groups -- promising one thing to black voters; promising another to hispanic voters; promising something else to women voters.

She emphasized that we are all Americans; that conservative principles apply to all equally, and benefit all equally.

About that same part of the speech, she also criticized cronyism and pay-to-play politics.

He can’t explain it, you can’t explain it, he apologies for making it, it is credited with being a costly, even deadly mistake, and I describe this and you consider his bizarre, stupid remark explained now, well I don’t.

Care to share with me?

(" I would not be in the United States Senate if it wasnt for Sarah Palin " Cruz said.)

“She emphasized that we are all Americans; that conservative principles apply to all equally, and benefit all equally.”

Mark Levin was talking about this last Monday or Tuesday. Gave the GREAT example of the Founders in Philadelphia hashing it out, arguing, threatening to leave, etc. as they argued over the Constitution - how to elect people, how many should each state get, etc. He provided a great image of what must have been a fragile and contentious process. But they ALL wanted the basic Conservative principles - and hung in there, and were together.
